The key elements of Labour’s election campaign were Time for Change, plus make Britain better by growing the economy.
Unfortunately there was a complete lack of detail. Making it easier to get planning permission doesn’t, on its own, get more houses built. There has to be demand and by that I mean people in a position to buy. Demand isn’t there look at the incentives being offered by builders.
All a cunning plan but not thought through.
The regulators will already be asking the companies they supposedly regulate what they would like to see happen. That wish list will all involve government investment.
Reality is we have a different government but no real change is visible.
To answer the original post. Is he running out of ideas, no he never had any to begin with.
If you can add a million consumers to your population compounding year on year and still manage negligible economic growth then there are bigger fundamentals to be looking at than regulation. GDP per capita hasn’t grown so we aren’t creating quality jobs, more tax per head, or improving living standards.
As an aside, most of our regulation emulates the EU, so unless we want to lose access to markets we have little room for manoeuvre - even the Brexiteers knew this which is why they wanted a Singapore on sea bonfire of low regs (essentially turning us to a low tax, low regulatory environment offshore of the EU).
Kind of implies a complete lack of imagination.

Truth is stopping the boats would have only a minimal impact of overall immigration.
I wouldn't disagree with that, but it's hardly a way to measure immigration as a whole. You only excuse that because the overall amount of immigration is huge.
Is the economy growing, are tax revenues increasing. Without these things happening, there really is no benefit, just a further drain on public services.
I don't see those potholes being filled any time soon

The boats are such a misdirection by the current government and previous ones. It's such a small percentage when you look at the overall immigration numbers.
To me it's pretty simple, if the government wanted to slow down immigration then they could easily by reducing the amount of visas issued via the legal routes. It's really not difficult, but they choose to not do so and the press zooms in on the "boat" migrants who have often been displaced from their homeland.
